The new, enhanced site includes the following features:

All-you-can-play subscription accessGuitarInstructor.com now offers G-PASS, which gives users unlimited access to all of the site’s content for a low introductory rate of just $9.99 per month. Users can test-drive the new site for one month at no cost. Content may be purchased á la carte, per lesson or tab.

New G-Plus music file technologyGuitarInstructor.com introduces G-Plus Songs and Lessons, which use a new type of interactive file that combines PDFs/audio/video into a synchronized, interactive file format for new musical learning possibilities. The G-Plus files include playback with speed control, looping and the ability to isolate the guitar and backing track.

Mobile-FriendlyThe new GI.com is auto-responsive and very mobile friendly, meaning the tablature/audio/video content displays beautifully on any mobile device including Android and iOS.

GI.com is jam-packed with content that guitarists are looking for, including:

13,000+ guitar tabs

1,100 video lessons from professional in-demand teachers and authors

550 video songs

1,500 play along tracks

7,500 chord/lyric arrangements

1,500 solo guitar tabs

Site manager Michael Mueller stated, “with the abundant popularity of content subscription sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify as well as the ever-growing public shift toward mobile use, we feel the time is right to offer the guitar-playing community the content they want online – video lessons and guitar tab – in a similarly easy-to-use, convenient, and affordable manner, and G-PASS does just that.”
